2、ry? 謝in my point of view, a lack of sleeping may make a bad influence on our memory. in other words, if you cant guarantee a enough sleep, you cant learn anything quickly. 桐i know someone has a good memory. for instance, the famous english writer, charles dickens said that he could walk down any lon

3、g street in london and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. of course, many of the great men of the world have wonderful memories. 崢yes, you are right. a good memory is also a help in learning a foreign language. you know, everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears

10、r brains cell to work again. whats more, if you want to learn something well, you must have intensive practice or repeating periodically. 那so maybe everyone has a little difference in our memory, but the method we have make it not the same. 崢memory is the diary we all carry about us. we keep things

11、we have experienced in this diary. 謝so learn more things now, taking the advantage of your young age and our good memory now. pay attention to the method from now, maybe one day we can have the super capability to memorize everything easily. 那you are right!1. what factors may weaken ones memory?it i

23、rent families in today's society have their share of daily struggles and long-term disadvantages. the issues of expensive day care, shortage of quality time with children, balance of work and home duties, and economic struggle are among the seemingly endless problems these families must solve.zh

24、ao: as many single-parent households are female-headed, their economic burden is much greater than that of a single-father family. this issue results from the fact that single women typically do not earn the same income as a single man; thus, there is a consequent economic struggle not experienced i

25、n the single-father household.cu：due to lacking of partner's support, indebted responsibility and duty, single parent ,no matter in life or in society, has to bear double pressures and efforts, even though single parent may successfully carry the heavy load to support the kids. in the circumstan

28、ith the kids more often from time to time.a: but single parents are often working parents because someone needs to earn money to buy food, clothing, and a place to live. so single parents don't have enough time with their kids. living with one parent instead of two can bring out a lot of emotion

29、s. the kids might feel terribly lonely and sad.b: the effects of divorce on children can be detrimental to their future relationships. children sometimes feel betrayed by their parents, resulting in a mistrust of others. sometimes, some children blame themselves for the divorce, believing that they

31、s the most important condition for marriage,however,quite a lot of older people maintain that a marriage based on romantic alone will not last long ,for a sense of responsibility is most essential to a successful marriage. what is your opinion?na: i agree with those who believe that love alone is no

32、t enough to have a successful marriage cause of  some of the circumstances that you will face with your spouse like saving money and raising your kids .etc cu: im agree with you.because love in most case is romantic and the lover only see the bright side of his or her counterpart,but

33、the marriage invovles more vulgar things. during the daily life, you not only discover his or her bright side,you may also be reluctant to find sometimes he or she offensive to you. therefore, mutual understanding is pretty important to maintain a good marriage. without it, the couples will only com

39、s for the olympic math competition?some parents believe that by doing a lot of difficult math problems, their children will have a solid foundation in math. some parents even believe that trying to solve math problems will promote the growth of childrens brains and help develop their logical reasoni

46、e could put the entire basketball team to sleepduring the championship game! b: what about you, c. i heard you have chose his course this semester.c: i dont like him too. you know, in zhang's classes, he usually dominates the class. he lectures, puts outlines and language points on the blackboar

47、d, gives solutions to problems, and fills the students' heads with information. the students only sit, listen and take notes silently at their desks. d: oh, that is horrible. have you ever had the class of mrs. lee. shes smart. students really learn a lot from her. c: i know her, she is perfect.

48、 what about you?b: ive had her class before. she is on the contrary of mr. zhang. it is more student centered. in her classes, she tries to stimulate the students to learn on their own by asking provocative questions, by posing problems, and most important of ail, by being a participant too. student

50、nt in this semester!a: but i dont think we should put so much stress on marks. the ability is much more important. it can accompany us to the end of our lives. everyone is hound to graduate from schools and step into society, so we have to learn to communicate with other people, to deal with difficu

51、lties and to face the sharp competition. all this should be developed in school, so the ability is the most important.c: i agree with you. but, you know, most parents, teachers judge students from their marks. high marks mean honor. so students study hard to get high marks in order to satisfy their

52、parents, please their teachers. and in our educational system, it is marks that decide a student's fate. actually, we have no choice.b: you all get your own idea. but, in my opinion, we should not go to extremes. for one thing, we should not just pursue marks and neglect ability; for another, we

55、rstanding, commitment, effective communication, similar educational background, equal economic status, physical fitness, etc. with the same values and moral standards, friends may develop into lifelong partners. after marriage, there needs to be a commitment to one another, and to the well-being and

56、 development of the family. similar educational background and intelligence levels are also considered important by some people. they believe that only with mutual appreciation and understanding can the couple get along easily and happily.2. why do people get divorced? can you guess some of the reas

57、ons?sometimes it is because the couple did not really understand each other before the marriage, as love was blind at that time. after marriage, they see each others shortcomings more clearly. when disappointment grows beyond control, divorce becomes inevitable. sometimes it is because one of the co

58、uple has changed after the marriage. for example, after the husband is promoted to a leading position, he may have a hectic time all year round, with hardly any time left to be with his wife. sometimes one of the couple has lost his or her job and becomes irritable. due to the continual quarrelling

59、at home, the family breaks up.3. what do you think of the lives of single mothers?most people look down upon single mothers with sympathy. single mothers have to support their children on their own. they may find it difficult to provide their children with all the luxuries children of two-parent families enjoy. worse still, they may be under great psychological pressure. moreover, their children may develop a sense of inferiority.
